Full list of Week 11 straight-up picks with confidence levels

Full list of Week 11 straight-up picks with confidence levels

Sports news

Welp, another week of some poor picks by yours truly. I went 7-7 for a second straight week and I’m in a funk. I was 2-1 with my high confidence picks and 4-2 with my medium confidence picks, but too many upset picks stung me as I was 1-4 with my low confidence picks.

Last week was a wild one, with the Bills losing in Miami and the Panthers losing at home to the Saints. Those were the biggest upsets in a week that didn’t really have that many entertaining games. Maybe it will change in Week 11?

This week, we open with the Patriots hosting the Jets in a less than ideal TNF kickoff. Europe gets another stinker on Sunday morning as the Dolphins face the Commanders with both teams struggling. The 1 p.m. ET window has two matchups that look decent with the Bills hosting the Bucs and the Jaguars hosting the Chargers. All four teams are in the thick of the playoff race. The 4 p.m. window has a huge Seahawks-Rams matchup, with both teams seen as NFC title contenders. Sunday closes with another such matchup as the Eagles host the Lions. Maybe we can just ignore Cowboys-Raiders on Monday?

Editor’s update, Nov 15: I forgot to include my Vikings-Bears pick, so I added the Vikings as a medium confidence pick. I also moved Texans over Titans from high confidence to medium confidence and Packers over Giants from medium confidence to high confidence.

Patriots over Jets
Packers over Giants

Texans over Titans
Bills over Buccaneers
Vikings over Bears
Eagles over Lions
Cowboys over Raiders

Vikings over Bears
49ers over Cardinals
Dolphins over Commanders
Falcons over Panthers
Steelers over Bengals
Seahawks over Rams***
Jaguars over Chargers***
Broncos over Chiefs***

Aditi Ashok cards 69 to move to T-36 in Los Angeles

India’s Aditi Ashok fought back with three birdies on the back nine to move up to tied 36th place with a third-round card of 3-under 69 at the JM Eagle Los Angeles Championship.

Aditi birdied the sixth but gave it back on the Par-5 seventh. On the back nine, she birdied the 11th and added two more gains on the 16th and the 18th for a 69, after 70-72 on the first two days.

Korea’s Sei Young Kim led by two following a roller-coaster round of 71. She had five birdies on the front and ran up an eight-stroke lead with five holes left at El Caballero Country Club.

She then bogeyed four times in a row the 14th to the 17th. Her late meltdown with four straight bogeys gave two-time event winner Hannah Green and others a foot in the door.

She salvaged an up-and-down from off the back of the 18th green to salvage a two-shot advantage.

Kim (71) is 15-under, while Green, the 2023 and 2024 champion at Wilshire Country Club, had a 67 to join Suvichaya Vinijchaitham (67), Jessica Porvasnik (68) and Ina Yoon (71) at 13 under. Former UCLA star Patty Tavatanakit was another stroke back after a 67.

Pranavi shoots 3-under to move to 30th place in Joburg

After 70-74 on the first two days, she had six birdies against three bogeys and reached 5-under for 54 holes and was placed a respectable T-30th in the Euros 330,000 event.

The other Indian golfers, Diksha Dagar, Tvesa Malik, Avani Prashanth and Hitaashee Bakshi, missed the 36-hole cut at the Par-73 course measuring 6710 yards.

Three French golfers, all past winners on Ladies European Tour (LET), Camille Chevalier, Celine Herbin and Agathe Laisne went low on moving day at Randpark Golf Club. They will now play in the final group.

Chevalier and Herbin lead the way on 16-under par after carding rounds of 67 (-6) and 68 (-5) respectively in South Africa.

Deadspin | Orioles contact-less lineup tries for better results vs. Guardians Apr 14, 2026; Baltimore, Maryland, USA; Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser (17) reacts to an inside pitch during the eighth inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Mandatory Credit: Mitch Stringer-Imagn Images There was a glaring lack of contact from Baltimore Orioles’ hitters on Saturday. The Orioles had four hits — two of them homers — while striking out a stunning 16 times. Baltimore will look to have their bats smack the ball more often in Sunday’s finale of a four-game series against the host Cleveland Guardians. The Guardians have won two of the first three games, including Saturday’s 4-2 victory when right-hander Gavin Williams dominated the Orioles. Williams struck out 11 in seven innings and allowed one run, three hits and one walk. He leads the majors with 40 strikeouts. “That’s not the biggest goal for me,” Williams said of the strikeouts. “I’m just trying to help the team win games. It’s cool, but I don’t think it’s necessary to have to punch that many people out. I’m just trying to win games.” Meanwhile, Baltimore’s Pete Alonso and Colton Cowser struck out in all four at-bats and Dylan Beavers fanned three times on Saturday. That breeze inside the ballpark wasn’t necessarily coming from the nearby lake. Orioles manager Craig Albernaz pointed to Williams’ dominance as the reason for Alonso and Cowser’s difficulties. “They couldn’t see the breaking ball early enough to either make an adjustment or hold off on it,” Albernaz said. Alonzo was the club’s marquee offseason acquisition and signed a five-year, 5 million contract. But so far, he has fizzled with a .208 average, two homers and eight RBIs to go with 26 strikeouts in 78 at-bats. Cowser has yet to go deep and is batting .178 with 16 strikeouts in 45 at-bats. The fifth overall pick in the 2021 draft continues to struggle with big-league pitching. “Colton, he’s our guy, and he has to figure it out how he wants to approach guys and what he’s trying to feel,” Albernaz said. “But with Colton at the plate, he’s dangerous. He’s a guy where, if he’s not feeling great, he can still get one pitch and do damage on, and that’s something where we feel very confident in.” Leody Taveras and Gunnar Henderson hit the homers for Baltimore’s runs. All of Cleveland’s runs also came on homers on Saturday. Brayan Rocchio smacked a three-run homer and Bo Naylor hit a solo blast. Rocchio said a more patient approach is paying off for him. He has three homers in 63 at-bats after having five in 344 at-bats in 2025. “That’s impressive for me, too,” Rocchio said. “Last year, I was struggling at hitting. Now I’m able to help the team with my at-bats and to see more pitches is pretty cool.” Left-hander Joey Cantillo (1-0, 2.61 ERA) will start the finale for the Guardians. Cantillo, 26, received a no-decision against the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday when he gave up two runs and five hits over six innings. Both runs came on solo homers. Cantillo is 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA in four appearances (two starts) against Baltimore. Cowser is 2-for-4 with one strikeout against Cantillo. Left-hander Trevor Rogers (2-1, 3.04) will take the mound for Baltimore. Rogers, 28, was roughed up by the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday and took the loss. He gave up four runs and nine hits over 4 2/3 innings. Rogers is 0-1 with a 5.79 ERA in two career starts against the Guardians. Rhys Hoskins is 9-for-21 (.429) with four homers off Rogers while David Fry (1-for-4) also has taken him deep. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Orioles #contactless #lineup #results #GuardiansApr 14, 2026; Baltimore, Maryland, USA; Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser (17) reacts to an inside pitch during the eighth inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
